More Than a Game What It Means to Volunteer:
When people think about volunteering, they often think about the logistics, the schedules, the gear, and the drills. But for Dave Gledhill who recently passed it was so much more, It was a treasured opportunity
Dave's legacy reminds us exactly why community sports matter. For years, Dave stepped onto our soccer fields with a simple goal: to coach. But what he actually did was shape lives. Dave didn't just teach soccer skills he built confidence, fostered teamwork, and created lifelong memories.
Volunteering is a two-way street of joy. When you volunteer your time to coach or help out, you aren't just filling a spot on a roster. You are stepping into a child’s core memories. You are teaching them how to lose with grace, win with humility, and work as a team. And in return, you get to experience the pure joy of watching a child succeed. Dave knew and lived this firsthand
To anyone thinking about stepping onto the field to help this season or the next one: take the leap. Make the kids smile. The impact you leave behind will last a lifetime. There are many stories that past players can share of Dave and his matching bandana, a small signature that always made the kids smile.
To Dave’s family, we send our deepest gratitude
